I thought this would be interesting 0:00:23.440 --> 0:00:25.400 for you. This it seems like your type of topic 0:00:25.520 --> 0:00:27.400 for the No Sentence Podcast. 0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:32.040 Well, I'm always in self. I prefer self checkout because 0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:34.960 I don't like having to interact with the cashier. 0:00:36.000 --> 0:00:42.239 I hate self checkout really, I mean like I hated. 0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:53.120 Why everything about it is just horrible, Like even for 0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:57.880 whatever it gives you an efficiency, all you trade in 0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:00.680 is just the human experience. Like, if you don't have 0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:03.240 no value for human experience, then I can understand why. 0:01:03.120 --> 0:01:04.360 You value your self check out. 0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:09.720 What human experience greeting someone like somebody working the counter, 0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:14.319 Why would they do that? Why would humans want to 0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:15.640 exchange with other humans? 0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:19.399 Well that human I mean not to like knock on them, 0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:22.440 but like we have no relationship. I don't know that person. 0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:26.400 We're not carrying this interaction elsewhere. I mean it start, stop, 0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:27.440 it's over. It's just. 0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:33.760 You don't think there's no value even in those short 0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:36.560 term relationships where you meet people. 0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:42.240 Not only is there not value, there's cost, but. 0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:45.000 You don't really lose costs. It's the same process of 0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:47.360 you lose time. 0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:50.360 You're not a faster checkout person than the person at 0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:51.840 the counter, oh I am yeah? 0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:53.960 Oh yeah by far? 0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:56.880 So now you do their job better than them. 0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:01.920 Yeah, so this is fifteen years. They've been doing it 0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:02.600 for three. 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:05.680 How have you been doing it for fifteen years? 0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:09.359 I've been doing self checkout for fifteen fucking years. It's 0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:09.799 not new. 0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:12.600 Do you steal anything? Sometimes? 0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:14.280 I used to. 0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:17.440 Okay, okay, that's cool. 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:21.080 I what I hear when I used to Here's what 0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:23.480 it really was was like because when I was when 0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:26.600 I was like a team with a teacher, when I 0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:27.280 was steel. 0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:29.440 I'm about to ask you, I'm about to ask you. Yeah, 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:30.120 I'm asking you. 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:30.280 No. 0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:32.239 Not not when you was young and dumb. I mean, 0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:35.239 what about it as an adult made you. 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:36.880 Like that? 0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:37.799 You was like, you know what? 0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:45.520 It was the fact that if I was buying a 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:50.800 lot of stupid one off produce items to make something sure, 0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:54.040 it was just faster to hit in one thing and 0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:55.960 then weigh at all like it's one thing because they 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:59.959 weren't looking that closely and then put it in the bag, rather. 0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:01.880 Than really what it was was it was the fact 0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:03.680 that they didn't let you just put in the number. 0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:05.680 If they would have let you scan the produce and 0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:07.240 put times five, it'd been you. 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:09.200 It wouldn't even be nothing. No, you can do that. 0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:14.600 It would be like, say, I'm buying five different kind 0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:17.240 of peppers. I was making a salsa. Yeah, and I 0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:20.120 know that jlapannos are the cheapest in Wait. I would 0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:22.800 just put in halapeno, put all the peppers there, and 0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:26.000 if they bleed a dollar in value, then I'm taking 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:27.359 a buck to the bank. I'm thrust you at the 0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:32.160 bag over, okay. Or if I knew that, Like there 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:35.560 was a tomato and the tomatoes come up, I'm like, well, 0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:37.800 that's a cheaper tomato than mine, So fuck it. I 0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:41.080 guess I'm getting that tomato today. Stupid shit, Like. 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:43.960 You want me to tell you something crazy. Yeah, I've 0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:47.360 never stolen from self checkout. I believe that. 0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:49.120 What's funny? 0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:53.200 So well, I've actually ended up not paying for something, 0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:56.160 but only because I didn't know how to work the 0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:58.880 machine when I scanned it and I thought it scanned 0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:02.080 and I walked out and I was like, you know, 0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:04.600 so you pay with your car, you scan your items, 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:06.520 you pay your card. I'm like, okay, man, I get 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:08.320 the receipt. I'm talking on the phone. I might've been 0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:11.440 talking to you or stealing somebody. I'm talking to one 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:16.080 of y'all and I'm just having this conversation. And I 0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:17.520 get out in the car and I look at my 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:20.520 phone and it says I paid thirty six dollars. And 0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:22.680 I'm like, you know, I'm one of them type of 0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:25.160 people that shop and I estimate exactly how much I'm 0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:26.880 gonna spend, so I. 0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:28.719 Spend my money. 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:34.720 I'm like, this shitd probably costs about fifty dollars, So 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:36.400 you know what I mean. I'm like, damn, what didn't 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:37.680 I pay for it? And not just stare at the 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:39.440 receipt to figure it out? 0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:40.159 You know what I'm saying. 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:42.719 Can you hear me? 0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:46.320 Yeah, just like. 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:49.080 It was a little low right there? 0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:49.760 Yeah. 0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:51.640 Oh that might not be me, that might be you. 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:56.440 That might be your value, That might be your value, 0:04:57.880 --> 0:04:58.480 that might be. 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:02.080 Huh. 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:03.400 Do you think that this will come to the mic 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:05.240 for halving the audio on the desktop. 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:08.599 If you have the audio on the desktop. No, probably 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:12.359 it might not bleed. Okay, it may not. It shouldn't. 0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:17.000 We'll have a crappy show, but it's okay, we could 0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:23.080 gamble a little bit. But yeah, I never really got 0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:26.279 into it. But I get so frustrated at the world's 0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:29.680 pursuit of convenience. 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:33.360 Yeah you don't. You don't value time. 0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:39.560 I truly do value time, but I want a quality experience, 0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:42.520 Like I don't just want time to have time, like, 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:45.320 I want time filled with quality things. 0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:49.440 So like if it meant like I can. 0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:52.440 Go somewhere and get my food in ten minutes and 0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:54.520 then get back home to sit down and eat and 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:57.719 watch TV versus you know, I'll get a meal that's 0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:00.960 a five and then I get it extra twenty minutes 0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:04.880 to get back home and eat, you know what I mean. 0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:07.320 I would rather sit at a restaurant like I go 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:09.320 to the grilled chicken place that's about the studio all 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:10.840 the time, and I'll just. 0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:11.479 Sit there and eat. 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:15.840 So they I lose an hour of time because I'm 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:18.680 sitting there and eating and bringing it. But the quality 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:25.400 experience of enjoying my food fresh hot, not you know, 0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:28.000 not way down, not giving my attention to the television, 0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:34.080 not giving my attentions to anything else, but just just 0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:38.919 sitting there, taking in the ambiance of of you know, 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:43.720 of something you know, you know, energy that's in the 0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:45.680 room that may not exist in the studio. 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:46.919 Off I go eat at the studio. 0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:51.200 I'm right there with you. But there's a discernible quality 0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:54.359 difference between a lot of foods where you eat it 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:58.440 right then and there versus later, even if it's only 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:03.799 fifteen minutes later. I ever don't see what the quality 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:07.320 of the experience is standing there in lying at the 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:08.159 grocery store. 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:13.280 There's a there's a let her one let her that. 0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:17.640 That's a uh, that's a I actually really enjoyed my 0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:20.600 experiences at the grocery store. Like people talk shit, I 0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:22.680 go to the grocery store just about every day. When 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:26.320 I'm actually eating and my body is at optimal function, 0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:36.520 I realize my greatest my greatest, my greatest move is 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:37.840 when I actually go to. 0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:40.080 The grocery store every day or the day before. 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:43.520 Sure, I've been like three times a week, four. 0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:47.920 Yeah, and I enjoyed my time at the grocery store. 0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:53.120 I'm not quite sure what I enjoy, but I enjoyed 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:57.080 my time at the grocery store. I don't know if 0:07:57.080 --> 0:08:00.240 it's the fresh produce in the air or you know, 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:03.120 seeing people, you know, trying to feed their family. 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:04.920 Something about it brings me joy. 0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:11.680 I tried adding a grocery store into my like, there's 0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:14.080 certain I can never get everything I want at one store. 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:17.040 It's so absurd, and I don't even ask for much. 0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:22.360 There's a Dominican market near me. It's like a normal 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:24.880 sized grocery store. It'd be like a food for letting 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:28.480 this Dominican. So I kept trying to go there. They 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:30.400 have some better prices, all some things which is good, 0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:33.040 got some other things that you don't have everywhere. But 0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:35.680 I was like, we're in the middle of Dominican neighborhood. 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:38.400 There's got to be Dominican women here. Well that never 0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:42.959 came to fruition. And now because they don't have self checkout, 0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:45.160 I have to abandon the place all together. There's just 0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:50.959 there's no no juice for the squeeze. 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:54.040 No siblings, gl my brother Peter in the house a 0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:58.679 couple of days late, but on time, and get to this, 0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:02.920 this this good stuff. I like ethnic markets. I mean 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:05.640 I do like State of Brothers. Shout out to my homeboy, 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:09.400 mad he worked at State of brother He's a butcher, 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:13.000 makes music. We've been talking about making some music. He 0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:16.120 always give me a great cut of meat. He'll if 0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:18.199 I want to get reb by Is on sale and 0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:20.120 I want to ground it up, like he'll do anything. 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:23.480 He'll shout out to the butchers of the world, who 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:30.160 really you know, will customize the customize exactly what you 0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:34.120 want when it comes to the animal department. And the 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:36.760 only thing I like about going to State of Brothers, 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:40.559 but I prefer ethnic markets. Like my favorite supermarket is 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:44.640 y Artha Byarta is like a some Mexican market. They 0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:46.880 got like a fresh guacamole bar, so you can make 0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:48.839 your guacamole fresh. 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:50.120 Like you can add just. 0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:58.280 The amount of avocado you want with tomatoes, onions, cilantro, uh, collapao, 0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:01.320 it's another pepper that you saw and pepper and like 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:03.160 I get just enough. Most people don't know if you 0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:07.800 add just enough line and your guacamole. 0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:08.720 Won't change colors. 0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:12.920 Oh yes, that's just enough line and I get it 0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:16.200 made fresh. And I could get they make the chips 0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:22.400 fresh right there. But I still hate going to the 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:24.280 chelf checkout line, Like I'm forced to go to the 0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:28.280 self checkout line because all the other lines have people, 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:30.559 you know, the people are backed up. 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:32.040 Yeah. 0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:34.720 So then now that's when it becomes a thing of 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:36.640 my time, you know what I mean, because it's like, okay, 0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:41.480 it might take me an extra fifteen minutes of standing 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:42.080 in line. 0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:48.880 Have you ever been like two people out at the 0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:51.440 self checkout bank because they have like five six you 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:51.840 know of them. 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:54.959 Yeah, yeah, I've been. I've been three people out, four people. 0:10:54.679 --> 0:11:00.360 Out, and then the person opens a new checkout lane 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:02.360 and they want you to go first. Do you ever 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:04.000 brush them off like a bad pitch. 0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:07.880 No, no, I always take that. I always accept that offer. 0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:09.280 I brush them off? 0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:13.200 No, no, I accept that offer. The thing I like 0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:15.280 about var Arthur right is they got a juice bar over. 0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:17.720 They'll make fresh juice that's doing in front of you. 0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:22.760 They make their tortillas fresh, and like I get with 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:25.520 self checkout, right, it's the time, right, don't get me wrong. 0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:31.160 Like there's a long line to interact with the person. Sure, 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:33.520 but it probably wouldn't be this long of a line 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:37.560 if they have more counters open. Don't get me wrong, people, 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:41.199 I could tell people reject self checkout because I won't 0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:42.880 lie to you like when I go to Circle K 0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:45.560 and it's a line of you know, four or five people, 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:49.040 like in the self checkout machine is sitting right there 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:52.080 and nobody's going I'll just walk right by and I 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:55.680 won't lie. It's really fast. It's that's one of those 0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:58.679 places where it's fast. Like you said, whatever it is 0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:01.800 down on it's like Matt or like a like an 0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:05.240 electronic type of table Matt, and it figures exactly what 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:05.760 it is. 0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:10.160 I guess self checkout. 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:10.720 Huh. 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:13.120 If seven to eleven had a self checkout, that would 0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:15.800 be a game changer for my life. I'd probably be diabetic. 0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:20.000 Yeah, that's probably what's wrong now because I like, I 0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:21.760 go through the Circle KAY and they have a special 0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:24.120 on eighty five on sodas on any size for eighty 0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:28.240 five cent. Yeah, I need the ice for my gallon 0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:30.280 of water, So I always end up going and now 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:31.679 like I've been able to get a tea or a 0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:33.720 power aid or something just so I could fill up 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:38.240 the big cup with ice. But like that, that is time, 0:12:38.320 --> 0:12:39.959 you know what I mean, Because it will be five 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:42.720 six people trying to get gas in that line, and 0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:46.000 they're waiting in line to see an attendant yeah, and 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:48.360 then I can walk right by to the little machine. 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:51.199 I set it down and within five within three seconds, 0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:53.400 it pops up with a total I just tapped my. 0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:55.120 Phone on the machine and walk out. 0:12:57.360 --> 0:12:57.560 Yeah. 0:12:57.559 --> 0:12:59.880 I want to know, but I would imagine that's not 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:02.599 stay like that, because you know, basically, they're gonna have 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:04.679 all self checkout lines and then it's gonna take forever. 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:06.559 I don't wanna take forever. 0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:12.160 Mean, the Walmart self checkout lines take favor. 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:16.600 Walmart self checkout lines take forever, but they don't take 0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:19.760 as long as the regular lines. And it depends on 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:23.280 which Walmart. Now. I famously live next door to the 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:27.360 Haitian Walmart in North Miami Beach. The Haitian why do 0:13:27.440 --> 0:13:30.240 you call it? The Walmart itself was not Haitian, but 0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:32.440 the people inside were Haitian. It was the most that's 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:36.160 the most Haitian dominant neighborhood, probably outside of Haiti in 0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:38.800 the whole world is North Miami. In North Fami Beach area, 0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:46.520 it was a societal collapse at the self checkout line 0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:51.880 every Sunday. It was just an absolute pandemonium shutdown of commerce. 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:55.760 I'd never seen anything like it in my life ever. 0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:57.560 What it's just that many people. 0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:01.680 It was the lack of compet of the shoppers. You 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:06.959 would have people paying in petty cash and change. You 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:12.000 would have people with trying to implement portional payments on 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:16.040 several cards, people who couldn't figure out how to work 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:19.240 it at all. It was like there was not anybody 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:22.960 who could just go up and execute the transaction in 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:28.440 the streamline fashion at any of the checkouts ever. I mean, 0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:30.640 it was to the point I was a block from 0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:33.760 this from this place, and I was going miles away 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:38.080 to another Walmart after like three months of living there. 0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:42.240 Maybe this is a bit prejudice, but why did the 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:45.520 other you going to Walmart? You seem like a Target person? Well, no, 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:47.080 I don't like. 0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:50.640 Why don't you like Target? 0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:53.360 I just don't like it. I don't like the people 0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:55.640 of Target. Target's full of Karens and shit like that. 0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:59.760 I don't like those people. What do the workers do rome? 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:04.360 No, I mean the other shoppers, Oh, they feel ritchy 0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:05.280 because theyn't Target. 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:08.560 Yeah, I don't like them. It's like, yeah, I don't 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:12.960 like I don't like Target. But uh, that particular Walmart 0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:16.760 on the one sixty seventh is hell. The parking lots hell. 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:20.760 The whole situation is just terrible. I never seen it. 0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:23.240 I've never seen I've been to Walmart's all over the country. 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:25.520 I've never seen anything like that ever. 0:15:27.320 --> 0:15:29.680 Yeah, I don't know if you should be going to Walmart. 0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:31.560 But I mean, you know you you you're smart, You're 0:15:31.600 --> 0:15:34.200 you're economically sad. So I'd imagine you saving a dime, 0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:35.920 and I could imagine that time. 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:38.600 Boy that times crazy from over. 0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:41.120 Here, like the one on seventy ninth Street, over like 0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:44.760 Liberty City area. Yeah, it's like paradise compared to that 0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:45.920 shit over there on the other one. 0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:49.840 Yeah, I've never been to a good Walmart. 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:53.720 There's no such thing as a good Walmart. There's just 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:56.800 Walmarts that are better than other Walmarts compared to other 0:15:56.880 --> 0:15:58.640 Walmarts within their own ratings. 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:01.360 The Walmart I go, who, everything is locked up. 0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:06.160 So if I go to Walmart, whatever I'm saving and price, 0:16:06.520 --> 0:16:07.760 I end up paying in time. 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:12.000 That is a very California problem. 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:16.520 I would have believed that. I don't believe that. 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:20.880 But if I'm getting something that's behind the glass, you 0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:24.680 press the button, different workers is walking by and I'm 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:26.480 like hey, and he's like, oh, this is not my department. 0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:29.960 Be like bro y'all should have access to all departments 0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:33.200 and you end up waiting. Like I remember one day 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:38.840 I had got so irritated and in a moment of protest, 0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:40.080 I had made up my mind. 0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:44.280 I think it was like four fifty nine in the afternoon. 0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:47.200 I remember it because I said, if it turns five o'clock, 0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:51.440 I got there and I pressed that button. Had to 0:16:51.440 --> 0:16:54.480 be about four forty one or something, and I said 0:16:55.320 --> 0:16:57.640 it was about four fifty five, and I had made 0:16:57.680 --> 0:17:01.000 up my mind. I said, if it hits, I'm going 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:04.400 to break this glass with something and make my purchase. 0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:06.119 Because I had already made up my mind that I 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:09.960 was about to protest and set off like a national 0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:12.040 protest against Walmart and go. 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:13.640 To jail to prove a point. 0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:19.919 And God, for sure, you know, an attendee came because 0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:22.080 it was about to happen, and I had prepared myself. 0:17:22.119 --> 0:17:23.280 I was like, yeah, I'm gonna go to jail for 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:25.480 this one. Now I'll be on the news. 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:34.399 Walmart's workers, I've never seen such a widespread culture of 0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:41.080 workers under protest in my life. Like getting a Walmart 0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:45.840 employee to help you with anything is just it's a 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:47.080 lost cost fools. 0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:54.600 Errand you know what's odd is it is customer service? 0:17:54.680 --> 0:17:57.000 Like when I go to Chick fil A or if 0:17:57.040 --> 0:17:59.480 I go to In and Out people are they seem. 0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:02.760 Like they are forced either. 0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:05.479 They have a much better attitude than when I go 0:18:05.520 --> 0:18:09.199 to certain places. And I've been asking people do they 0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:13.960 think it's the money or is it like the manager 0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:15.960 is hiring a chipper attitude. 0:18:16.200 --> 0:18:19.439 I think it's both. I think it's a standard. I 0:18:19.480 --> 0:18:24.440 think if you don't adhere to their standard, you're probably 0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:28.359 not gonna be there very long. And on a side note, 0:18:28.400 --> 0:18:30.439 to compare In and Out and Chick fil A for 0:18:30.520 --> 0:18:39.119 another weird personal anti human interaction issue I have in 0:18:39.200 --> 0:18:44.320 and Out God bless them. You order, you get a number, 0:18:44.640 --> 0:18:48.960 you're one O nine. Chick fil A asks for my name. 0:18:50.320 --> 0:18:51.919 I don't like that. I don't I want to go 0:18:51.920 --> 0:18:57.639 anywhere personal touch. No, I don't know, don't give me number, Pete. 0:18:57.680 --> 0:18:59.040 That go to the self check. 0:18:59.240 --> 0:19:00.760 That not the self che And I go to a 0:19:00.840 --> 0:19:04.159 regular cash register line and I'm going to call the 0:19:04.160 --> 0:19:05.480 person at the register by. 0:19:05.359 --> 0:19:08.200 Their name, likely Pete. 0:19:08.280 --> 0:19:11.120 I'm going to remember their name and then the next 0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:12.840 time I see them I'm be like, oh, hey, Heather. 0:19:14.119 --> 0:19:17.439 She was like, hey, I feel like the world is 0:19:17.480 --> 0:19:21.159 missing that, the personal connection of people caring who they 0:19:21.200 --> 0:19:23.919 are speaking to, even if it's even if it's not. 0:19:24.119 --> 0:19:28.159 Like if I saw Heather outside, we wouldn't talk. But 0:19:28.280 --> 0:19:31.919 when I walk into her, her establishment were her register, 0:19:32.040 --> 0:19:35.160 her line, somebody is going to talk to her. 0:19:35.160 --> 0:19:36.160 Hey, how's everything going. 0:19:36.240 --> 0:19:38.720 Somebody is going to talk to her like they actually 0:19:38.800 --> 0:19:41.200 care and are grateful that she's providing a service. 0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:45.360 I'm not like. I just saw this thing on. 0:19:47.440 --> 0:19:49.919 I might have sent it to you, But it was 0:19:50.080 --> 0:19:55.520 about this restaurant in uh, South Carolina in Myrtle Beach, 0:19:57.000 --> 0:19:59.600 and I think it's called Milk and Honey or something 0:19:59.640 --> 0:20:06.000 like that or something, and a lady ordered a medium 0:20:06.000 --> 0:20:12.880 well steak and they brought it out and she complained 0:20:12.880 --> 0:20:13.320 about it. 0:20:13.800 --> 0:20:18.080 Oh, I guess you since not done enough. So there 0:20:18.119 --> 0:20:19.960 was when the chef came out each other. 0:20:22.280 --> 0:20:25.560 Who the waiter. I'd be complaining at her for ordering 0:20:25.560 --> 0:20:28.120 this medium well steak and embarrassing our restaurant, and then 0:20:28.119 --> 0:20:30.560 she's complaining that we gave it to her and. 0:20:30.560 --> 0:20:32.840 It's more well too. She wanted it more well. 0:20:35.080 --> 0:20:40.679 So so so. 0:20:39.720 --> 0:20:40.880 The chef comes out. 0:20:40.880 --> 0:20:43.760 I was like, you order it medium well, She's like yeah, 0:20:43.760 --> 0:20:46.760 but I wanted more done. It's like, well this is 0:20:46.880 --> 0:20:50.840 medium well. So to me, it was a conversation of 0:20:52.000 --> 0:20:54.720 you know some magics, like this is what a medium 0:20:54.760 --> 0:20:56.959 well steak looks like, Like this is the temperature, this 0:20:57.000 --> 0:21:00.199 is the picture, look at the picture.

Say the same thing on 0:21:23.080 --> 0:21:23.440 the stream. 0:21:23.600 --> 0:21:26.280 If if I opened the steakhouse, you couldn't get well 0:21:26.320 --> 0:21:26.960 done stakes here? 0:21:27.520 --> 0:21:28.560 Yeah, we would not for that. 0:21:28.960 --> 0:21:31.000 Yeah, I just you have to know, sir, you can't 0:21:31.400 --> 0:21:33.320 well done.
